I grew up around there. That cafe's had many incarnations and was a Little Chef when I was a kid (60/70's). Worked in Berinsfield for 10 years until 2005.
Ah the little chef - a favourite from the 70’s
I wondered where this place was. Found it when I went for a wonder, liked it, forgot the name and could never find it again when I was back down there.
Great cafe! They used to hold a Bikers Night on a Monday, which used to be frequented by the local constabulary, cars and bike cops on all approaches and the odd Constable in civvies checking the bikes out. Great food and atmosphere though.
For sure I've seen plenty of police there on monday evening's
Nice to see a VLOG on the bike, I much prefer these... :-) Cafe looked OK too, I will keep that one in mind when I venture that way.
Good to see you on your own bike. Minus 11 and snow here. Even if it warms up there’s 2 feet of grit on the roads. Biking season delayed. When it gets going there is a bike run every Tuesday to a place that serves real burgers unlike that thing your mate had, lol. Full of Harley riders. Make sure you get to Squires in Sherburn in Elmet when you tour Yorkshire. Weekends are packed out, you may need a disguise
Thanks for the tip!
Lovely part of the world. I was down near Chinnor last weekend for the start of the Round Britain Rally. Good day ride out from Derbyshire, but missed out on H's café. One to remember for next time.
Give me the peaks any time!
I like it, TMF.... the mouth is watering!
You should organise a TMF fan club ride out to a place like this... perhaps do an outside broadcast..... I'd be there!
:0) .....there' an idea!
Good stuff TMF. '.. A balmy 6 degrees..and the sun has sort of come out..' you're most definitely in the ACF50 container half-full camp! :)
Thanks Jme Be - I try to be, life is generally much better that way!
I really enjoyed the motorcycle museum videos. Glad to see your friend is doing well.
Cheers Cindy....
Too right I’m looking forward to summer, spring hasn’t been much yet! The Saturday before last I rode from Norfolk down to Rykas Cafe at Box Hill, my bike said it was 10C but I’d forgotten how cold you can feel at motorway speeds after 100 miles or so!
Yes - hardly asking for much is it, just more than 10 degrees please!
I used to be based at RAF Benson and I recognized this place straight away :-) They do GREEEAAAAT breakfasts. Used to go here on the motorbike nearly every weekend.
Nice one Leigh!
Idea for your next Vlog, "TOILETS OF OXFORDSHIRE "
Not sure of the widespread appeal of that but thanks for the suggestion....
My kind of breakfast!
:0)
Great viewing on a chilly and wet Bank Holiday morning. As for the all day breakkie, yes please. I promise I'll stay on my statins.
You and me both!
Motorcycle café could be a new feature for your channel, just don't eat too much.
The Missenden Flyer, looks like we need to rename you 'The Missenden Fryer' 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Kindest regards. A82 Joe.
Works for me!
You are truly blessed living in such a beautiful part of this world. I love those quaint villages and the houses you pass along the way are fantastic.
Thank you Mark, now if only the sun would come out a bit more often!
Great to see you still enjoy doing what all us regular bikers do........ head out on the bike to eat and meet mates.
What makes you think I wouldn’t!!!
TheMissendenFlyer As an analogy, I loved gardening, set up a gardening business, now don't feel like doing my own garden at the weekends.
Aha I see....got you...I love riding bikes and I like making videos, if it becomes like a job then I'll stop!
I used to live in Stadhampton before moving back to the Emerald Isle. Great little village and the Crazy Bear hotel/restaurant is a fantastic place to eat and drink - best G&T I have ever drunk - well worth a visit. You also have Martin Baker (ejector seats) test site just down the road if you fancy retro fitting one into your plane... Lastly, great roads south of S'hampton towards Henley. Thanks for bring the memories flooding back - a cool little place.
Glad you liked it Ed - thanks for watching and for stopping by- TMF
The US needs to catch on , no biker cafe's , no bike sheds like In London at least not on the east coast ...Unless you want to make a 1200 mile trip down to Ace cafe in Florida . I'm from UK originally think Ill move back for the biker scene. Nice video again mate .
I think I'd give up the odd greasy spoon in exchange for some decent weather any time! Maybe it's a case of the grass is always greener....thanks for watching - TMF
2 things I miss about leaving the UK. Great countryside and a proper fried breakfast. 1 thing I don’t miss, the cold LOL.
So where are you living now Mark?
TheMissendenFlyer Monterey, California. Bought my first bike (R3... loved your review) about 7 months ago. Your videos are a great taste of “home”, as well as being very informative.
Nice - loved it there when I visited a few years back....
First world problems: "I have too many bikes being loaned to me for free, I never have a chance to ride my own bikes" :)
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Don't think I added the "for free" bit but fair enough.......
Looked like a fun day except for the black pudding bit. 😮🏍😮
I agree - I’m not a black pudding fan either...
Thing about "Biker Cafes" is, the're not much fun if you turn up by yourself, great to visit with a couple of mates. Whereas stopping off at a local country pub when on a long solo trip somewhere can be a real pleasure.
Well generally I prefer country pubs full stop - that said when I have been to biker cafes on my own (which is fairly often) I usually get chatting to someone!
I really enjoy your channel.thank you for letting me ride with you all over u.k.i really learn a lot about what your country looks like.its beautiful.i'm from newfoundland Canada . again thank you
Thanks for coming along Dave!
Nice vlog matey, nice to see you out just for a ride.. need to get back to these myself maybe too..
Cheers chopsy, good to get back to basics once in a while - wasnt sure how this would go down but maybe I should do more of them after all.. thanks for watching as ever - TMF
I agree ,I now have a TomTom and initially thought it not quite as good as my garmin. Now that I have got used to it I find it 's excellent and the "find a thrill" facility in particular very useful.
Both hands are up for summer here!! Fed up of cold, wet and windy commutes to work! I want better weather to get more social rides in alongside the commutes!
Better weather is just better isn't it....this winter has dragged on far too long for my liking.....
Why is it that biker cafes all around the world have the worst car parks - broken up surfaces that resemble bush tracks that require you to be riding an adventure bike. I remember driving in Oxfordshire during my trip to England in 2006, the roads whilst narrow were fun to drive and the motor way was excellent. Next visit (?) will have some time on a bike.
I think you’ll find the roads have deteriorated since 2006! Shocking this year after the hard winter we’ve had...
Hi TMF, I bought a bike from that lovely village you went through, it was an eBay one and has turned out to be great. Anyway, more important ....the food! Looked very nice, one for the diary that cafe. Cheers mate.
Cheers mate - not sure I’d ride that far to visit!!
Thanks yet again M.F.; I was expecting to hear about somewhere new, then when you pulled into H's I remembered visiting in 2002. I'd just bought a new 1300 Pan European and I pulled in for breakfast on the way up to Anglesea from the Isle of Wight. Great breakfast, the black pudding obviously did me the world of good, and I managed to pick up an XXL all in one waterproof suit in the motorcycle shop next door ( not Infinity then) reduced from £75 to £25. Great bargain, even though I have only ever lent it to others. I know what you mean about being glad to being back on the GS. It is the one bike I feel happy to go anywhere on now. On the subject of sat nav, I think too many people are unfair to their systems by expecting them to plan their routes. I always plot my route and tell it which way I want to go. It always does exactly what it's told and I am always happy. (Who wants to miss a nice wiggly bit?) Keep 'em coming please.
Cheers and will do!
Nice to see you out on a random breaky run, mate! I once treated myself to a nice buttered scone and cuppa in that little part of Thame you came through, whilst on a little tour to the south coast. Must venture down that way again 👍
Well when you do don’t forget my offer of a flight still stands! We must sort that out!
Wow, that was a beast of a breakfast! Fair play. What a great way to spend a day, and what a great pair of characters your mates are. I think I’ll have a ride out to H’s myself and sample natures harvest......Thanks for this on a rainy bank holiday TMF.
You’re welcome - suns out where I am ;0)
Enjoyed this. Do more of these but keep up the bike reviews too. They're good.
Thanks Mike - I try to vary my content as much as possible....
It would be fun seeing you riding with your friends. But maybe when it warms up!
Nice to see you back on the Beemer. I use the BMW Navigator VI, and don't have any navigation issues. Works great. Maybe yours does not like the cold. As it gets warmer, it may get better
After not having my GS for a few years now, the sound when you were riding brings all those memories back, good times :-)
Glad to be of service!
I’m pretty blessed for biker cafes with Rykas, Newlands and Loomies all within easy reach. I have stopped at the H Cafe a couple of times on rides through Henley on Thames. It’s a nice ride out that way. The last time was interesting as it had the biggest number of super spirts bikes I’ve ever seen. The downside were the guys doing burn outs along the road in front of the cafe. That was the point we made our retreat before the boys in blue turned up.
Yes not good form that - I’m yet to do Rykas or Loomies, maybe I should venture south sometime....
TheMissendenFlyer the roads and villages around the Surrey hills, East and West Meon and surrounding area are beautiful. Definitely worth a venture out and get some lunch on a sunny Spring or Summer’s day.
I used to live in Surrey so I do know the area quite well.....
Next time you are heading north for a tour/ride you should drop in at Squires Café near junction 42 of the A1(M) in West Yorkshire, a whole café/pub/biker shop and campsite for bikers. Lots of parking and weekend events throughout the season, find them on Google. Keep up the good work
Cheers David - will do!
Good wee cafe there, good staff in the Motorcycle store next door. I also done my BikeSafe course round Those roads.
Nice one!
TMF the bike night on Poole Quay in Dorset starts tomorrow 3 April until the end of September. You should come down and pay us a visit. It goes on from 6pm every Tuesday
Would love too! Can’t make tomorrow’s though alas (and I have been before btw)....
Translations:
Saucy Sausage = Super Sausage
Jack Wills = Jack Hills
:D
Those are the ones!
Jack Hills = Jacks Hill
oops!
Pubs are my favorite places to eat whenever I visit the UK.
Probably a wise move!
Gets very busy there on a Saturday & Sunday morning in the summer, you’ll end up queuing out if the door for food and given a numbered ticket waiting to be called. Always a good atmosphere with plenty of people to meet, bikes to see and a really nice ride out for me coming from the Heathrow area.
Nice one!
TMF you could always become a “Snow Bird”, 6 months of Summer in the UK, and 6 months of Winter in Spain 🇪🇸 or even here in Florida.
Once my kids are off to Uni (1 year to go!) that is my plan....
Black Pudding eggs and chips for breakfast now that's what I call living.
Me too!
Thanks for sharing!👍
Thanks for watching!
My usual haunt in Oxfordshire. I was making a list of the top biker cafes around the UK to enter into my Satnav and funny enough your video notification chimed that you are at H Cafe :). Lovely little ride up there and the infinity store next door is a good place to while away a morning. Good to see you in my neck of the woods.
Great looking all day breakfast, reminds of the classic ‘Olympic’ at Little Chef. Looking forward to seeing you out again on the Panigale once the weather improves, love that bike. 😊👍
Yeah me too....
Good to see you out on the GS...
You must be due a tour soon? As always cheers for sharing 👍😀
Sure am, stay tuned!
“Eee Mum, black pudding sure is black today. Even the white bits are bkack.” Eric Olthwaite
I think you’ve done a vlog on the new GSA but does yours compare to the one you rode in Spain, would you look at upgrading? Nice to see the cold weather still about, one thing I don’t miss living in Oz 😀
The new GS is an improvement on mine for sure - but they are incremental improvements only as far as I'm concerned, it would cost me £10-£12K to upgrade to a new one and I don't think the improvements are worth that!
An English Breakfast with a mug of tea you can't beat it, and known around the World.. mine is with a well done egg ...thanks......................
Nice to see you out and about on your own steed. Not sure about the destination, I think there maybe better out there.
I’m sure there is but is was a good excuse to get out on the bike.....
2 degrees a real biker good on you mate
Thank you Pete....I wimp out below zero though!
H’s cafe - there’s only one for me, H’s cafe at Barham, Canterbury. It’s attached to the Honda dealership there and named after Hadrian the owner. Similar fare and gets busy when the weathers nice. A bit of a trip for you as it’s a long way from the Chilterns 😀
Did you check if the gents were speedo angel equipped? If not, we can arrange that. heh heh!
nice ride and the food had my mouth watering LOL, Squires coffee bar in north Yorkshire was our hang out when it was still in sherburn village, the new one is a mile or two before Sherburn in Elmete village now have called in a few times over the years
Great video TMF! The next time your in Thame head up to Brill (about 5 miles) and get some nice pictures up by the windmill. Also the view is fantastic on a clear day. 👍🏻
Ive done it many times
Nice one TMF! Would like some more cafe reviews if possible as i am partial to a cuppa, and selfishly am a local rider to you! My faves are Super Sausage up by Silverstone, the Field Kitchen in Nettlebed, and the super Chris’ Cafe on the A40 on the way to Stokenchurch.....
I’ve not tried that one near Stokenchurch - the trucker type place you mean on the right as you go toward Stokenchurch you mean?
Yeah that’s the one, with the trucker type hotel. They do a great bacon sandwich and a cuppa! And you ride past it all the time! I use it on the Hughenden M40 / Oxfordshire run......
The one in Nettlebed is on a good road out towards Abingdon way from Marlow. It’s not a ‘biker’ cafe but does lovely food and you can park right outside.
Thank you for this video, these are roads I know very well.
Good vlog, interesting in that I rode by that very cafe on my 2015 Street Triple ABS at about 3pm yesterday, 1st April (the day you posted this vlog) and here you touched on very topics going through my head during my ride - that is I must get a sat nav on my bike soon, plus I must get heated grips before next winter.
I didn't stop at this cafe because my Sunday ride had accidentally become a lot longer than envisaged due to not knowing Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire very well, plus I was just riding the roads without having a planned route, so at this point I was thinking about heading home for a late Sunday lunch with family.
Fun it was, but a bit too cold for my ~140 miles loop out of London on a naked without heated grips or heated seat, so once I got down to Berkshire it was a bee line home on M4 (even colder but hey ho).
Fair enough!
Nice VLOG, as usual. If you're in NE Wales the brekkie is on me at the Ponderosa. Whilst on one of my trips last year I visited the cafe at Sammy Millers bike museum in the New Forest, lovely place with the bonus of the man himself blasting a Moto Guzzi V8 race bike up and down the drive!!
Yes must check that out and thanks for the offer!
Nice little ride and going to be visiting the H Cafe next weekend with the 4CBs (4 County Bikers). Should be quite a few of us turning up.
Nice one - enjoy!
Do you miss the weather in Malaga when you came to Spain with Toro Adventures? =)
Every single day! As soon as I can I shall be buying myself a pad in that neck of the woods.....
Beemer sounded nice &
looked like a worthy trip to travel for some good grub :)
Yeah, great way to spend your time when you've nothing more pressing....
Now that’s what you call a breakfast! Been several times. As you say, not the most picturesque but a nice ride to it from our direction. Also the window shopping next door is a bonus. You also pass by HughendenM40 dealership so it can turn into an expensive ride out!
Yes must pop up there again soon - but maybe leave my wallet at home!
You rode past the back of my house and behind Victoria Pendletons place at Moreton. You were lucky with the food Tmf it’s normally not that good. If you ever want a superb biker cafe and quality breakfast there’s a place near Towcester. I went a few weeks ago because I heard it’s the best one people ride for miles to go there. Definitely worth a look mate.
If it’s Jack Hills or the saucy/spicy sausage then I’ve been there lots of times....and agree!
Nice trip come on the warmer weather .👍☀️
Your buddy Jeff is the most English looking dude I've ever seen.
I know what you mean!
I'm very jealous you have a motorcycle cafe kind of near you.
The Harley Cafe in Vegas is superb, a tad further to go but we were on tour and it was worth it.
Hmm.. maybe you discovered a new video series, bike rides to food establishment reviews. Do you have hooters restaurants over there?
Sadly no hooters over here - if there were that series would have already been made :0)
Homesick now TMF. Proper bacon, proper chips and black pudding hmmmmmm!
Sorry about that - bit of luck I didn’t have a pork pie!
Beware, it gets super busy at Hcafe on Monday evenings in midd summer, and if you've parked your bike too close to the actual cafe it can be difficult to get it out because of all the other bikes. I park on the outskirts and is much easier to ride away.
Good tip!
That cafe is Jacks Hill cafe. Been there since 1940. One question Tmf do you ride with contact lenses? I just started and I tell you what it’s amazing no faffing or steaming up. It’s so nice to not look through glass for a change.
No I don’t - contact lenses and me split company about twenty years ago....
You can try also Loomies cafe if going further south
Brilliant as ever! Come up and visit us Yorkshire folk at Squires Cafe or Route 59 some time....and if you've never ridden a Triumph R3T you're welcome to a blast on mine!
Cheers David - appreciated!
I was in Squires yesterday as it happens. Nice CBX on display at the moment.
I love what you call healthy food. Not that it's healthy, but I love it :D
If it makes you happy, it’s healthy...
Works for me!
Was the a white van stuck behind you around the 6 minute mark? Bwah hahahahahaha!
Is this the 1st TMF Biker Scran?
Yes, it's what got the wheels in motion....
Next time take the sharp left after the BP Garage, brings you to the roundabout you did the u-turn on.
Cheers for the tip!
TheMissendenFryer...new channel maybe?
How's about a bacon buttie out of ten Mark for each Cafe? These things are important. Brown sauce obviously. ..
I like that!
Rivington Barn gets a 10 from me
If/When you are in the lake district again there's the Filling Station Cafe in Keswick which is very good
Thanks for the tip!
After eating that rather large healthy option! You’ll be needing another new rear shocker shortly.
:0) ....I certainly hope not!
Sat nav, seems a good idea, never used one on a bike. Nice video as always.
New CB1000R test TMF?
I hope so - stay tuned!
Great video, you need to come down to Devon & Cornwall for a tour round some fantastic scenery and the roads are good to , especially if you go across the moors 😃👍
Yes - time I came back there...did you see my lands end trip from a while ago?
TheMissendenFlyer , no I’ve only followed you last 6 months will look it up 👍
I'll wait until the weekend: 20° C in the forecast 😅. It will be a lot of sweating cause we're not used to those high temperatures
Sounds good to me!
Looked a tad chilly, and you should see the security around a us government officials, And yes bring on summer
Any chance of you using 360° cameras on your tours this year?
No plans but never say never! Thanks for watching - TMF
i notice the tinted screen u have on ur bmw. Do you look thru or over it? And does it bug you during night rides (being tinted i mean)? I ask causse i cant decide on tinted or clear for my suz 1000.
I tend to look over it - and hence no issue at night!
why didn't you take the street triple on this ride instead of the GS considering it was an hour ride i know the GS is your favourite but the others should feel unloved hehe.....
It was cold and I fancied the heated grips and seat...plus I was carrying some stuff so needed the top box.
How did the new Shoei helmet perform.
Brilliantly - I’m loving It!
Jacks Hills Cafe is a nice bikers cafe as well near Towcester.
Agreed....I once asked for something "warming and healthy" there...the response "You've come to the wrong place love" :0)
Should go to Loomies cafe if you haven't already
Just great to get out isn't it!got a good 350mls yesterday in the lovely sunny state of Florida but not much scenery in Florida. Take care man.had yous just ordinary pants or trousers on?seen a pair of blue jeans did i?
No - those are Dragging riders jeans....I’m an Attgat man!
TheMissendenFlyer good stuff cos I knew it was cold.
Just remember all good meals must include Bacon. 👍
Very true...
Hi TMF, You were in my neck of the woods! That route could be an interesting one for you to get to Blade in Abingdon via the back roads. I prefer Jacks Hill cafe myself. If you are ever on the A436 at Chatcombe in Gloucestershire, the Cotswold Diner is well worth a visit. A Bus converted in to an American Diner, food & service top notch!
Sounds good to me - p’raps I should make a special visit!
Pyro1251 I went to Jack hills a few weeks ago brilliant food and vibe
I agree. First time i went there I felt the good vibe and every time since. They are open until 2pm today, so may just have to get my arse in gear and have a fry up! All this talk of food is making me so hungry!
What difference has the new shock made to the GS ?
It bounces around a lot less like a pogo stick!!
Not far from there is the Waterfront Cafe at Benson. They do a good line in cakes! Keep up the good work, I always enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Dave, maybe a trip to Benson is in order!
